Dans les coulisses de La Pièce, du made in France

All garments are designed locally in La Pièce's workshop in the vibrant Latin Quarter of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

The designs are drawn, modeled, and prototyped specifically by the team. These unique pieces are then developed in specialized, human-scale workshops locally in France.

At La Pièce, we are committed to supporting local businesses and contributing to the French economy. We work with local craftspeople and businesses to cut and sew our garments.

In France, we work primarily with three specialized workshops. They are:

Roanne (Loire,42)
Angoulême (Charentes,16) - specializes in accessories and bags
Craponne (Rhône, 69) - specializes in bags and jackets

Workshop training

La Pièce Paris creates high-end products to best serve its customers. La Pièce Paris works with local workshops in France to promote job creation and support local communities. The brand manufactures locally through workshops located in Charentes, Loire and Rhône

The workshops have an extensive training program to equip new workers with the required skills.

For each production run, time is dedicated to quality control and manufacturing compliance. This ensures that the products we make are of high quality. Its motto is to grow with its local communities and, above all, give women, young people, and people facing hardship a meaningful trade.

Intergenerational transmission

Young apprentices have the opportunity to learn the intricacies of sewing, from basic stitches to more advanced techniques, while benefiting from the experience and accumulated knowledge of their elders. This ensures the continuity of this craft and helps maintain excellence and innovation in the field of sewing in France.

Intergenerational transmission in the tailoring professions in France is a valuable legacy that has been passed down for decades. Tailoring artisans, true guardians of traditional expertise, have played an essential role in preserving and passing on sewing techniques to future generations. Through family ties, formal or informal apprenticeships, and internships in renowned workshops, this knowledge is transmitted both directly and indirectly.

Inclusion

In addition to being local, our production is partly socially responsible: more than a third of the manufacturing is carried out as part of a social and solidarity economy initiative, providing social and professional integration for adults with disabilities.

At La Pièce, we collaborate with organizations that provide work opportunities to marginalized members of society. For example, the Craponne workshop employs women and people with disabilities, while the Angoulême workshop employs people from the neighboring municipality. We are proud because this helps build resilient communities.
